CEC Gyanesh Kumar; TMC MP Derek O’Brien

New Delhi: Opposition parties will bring a new proposal to impeach Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP and spokesperson Derek O’Brien said on Monday.“19 political parties and around 300 MPs had earlier given impeachment notice against the CEC. In the coming days, a fresh impeachment notice will be brought with additional charges,” O’Brien told reporters at a press conference in Kolkata.Earlier this month, both Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla and Rajya Sabha Chairman, Vice President CP Radhakrishnan, rejected opposition notices demanding the removal of Kumar, who has been repeatedly accused of favoring the ruling BJP.Preparations for the upcoming assembly elections in West Bengal – where the TMC has been in power since 2011 and will seek power for the fourth consecutive term – have been particularly acrimonious, with tensions over issues such as the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists and the removal of IAS and IPS officers in the state by the Election Commission (EC). Since the Model Code of Conduct is currently in force, the Election Commission is currently overseeing the state machinery.The previous proposal to remove Kumar was the first such move against the current CEC.Of the 294 assembly seats in West Bengal, 152 seats will go to polls on Thursday, while the remaining 142 seats will go to polls on April 29. Counting of votes is to take place on May 4.

‘BJP is planning a big conspiracy before the second phase of voting’

Meanwhile, O’Brien further alleged that the BJP, which is the ruling party at the Center and the principal opposition in the state, is hatching a “big conspiracy” ahead of the second phase.He claimed, “We have reliable information that the Home Minister has called a meeting with the heads of CBI, ED and NIA. In the next 100 to 150 hours, some serious or devious action has been planned before the second phase of elections.”The Rajya Sabha member said such incidents are likely to happen in the districts of South Bengal.O’Brien also commented that Union Home Minister Amit Shah was working like a “full-time BJP worker”. Shah, BJP’s chief strategist and former party president, had earlier said that he would spend 15 days in the state.The TMC MP also accused the BJP of deploying “disproportionate force” to defeat Chief Minister and party supremo Mamata Banerjee.“To defeat a woman you need 18 cabinet ministers, the prime minister, the home minister, the defense minister, several chief ministers, central agencies and thousands of security personnel,” he said.

Malewar started his cricket journey at City Gymkhana Academy under the guidance of coaches Swaroopraj Srivastava and Nitin Gawande. Coaches immediately recognized his discipline and determination.

He was also a key contributor to Vidarbha’s title-winning Ranji Trophy 2024-25 campaign, scoring 783 runs at an average of 52 in nine matches. The batsman recorded two centuries and six half-centuries that season, and finished as his team’s third-highest run-scorer. Malewar played in the middle order for his state, usually at number 4.

The young batsman has represented Vidarbha since the Under-14 level and joined the team at the age of 12. Taking inspiration from idols Sachin Tendulkar and KL Rahul, Malewar is known for his strong work ethic. However, his aim is to develop his own batting identity by mastering every shot, from drives to flicks and sweeps.

The 21-year-old right-handed all-rounder brings versatility as a right-arm fast bowler and can also contribute with the bat lower down the order.

“Kriss has consistently impressed the coaching staff with his dedication, work ethic and quality in every session and practice game for Mumbai Indians. His commitment and development in domestic cricket and practice sessions for Mumbai Indians this season has earned him this well-deserved opportunity to transition into the main team,” the franchise said in a brief statement.

The young all-rounder is likely to be used in the middle overs, while the premier pace bowlers are struggling to make breakthroughs.
